Thanks to Matt from Oldenhammer in Toronto for prompting me post some more, busy week so I've fallen behind some. Matt has recently posted some great Old School stuff (Battletech Mins) and just today a great Oldhammer post about the wonderful Lichemaster himself, Heinrich Kemler!

Back when I sent Mr Saturday pics to post on his blog some time ago I totally
forgot this guy! A very simple conversion. Dropped the arms and did a
weapons swap out for twin axes. Head work is an addition of 3
topknots, I had an image of him looking into the wind with the top knots
flowing like some cheap romance novel cover!

One final guy to follow this one, interesting he is actually an authentic Fimir Lord and not one of the recasts like his fellow and all his predecessors. He is also a very crude color test so I'm interested in feedback since I finally intend to get paint on these guys!

On my quest to
collect the Fimir models I stumbled upon this little gem.

It is Warpstone's special Fimir dedicated issue 25. For those of you who aren't into WHFRP 1st
edition this is a fanzine for that system and has some great material in
it. Unfortunately it appears that they ceased production at issue 30. As a side note: Fantasy Flight Games has ended all of its licensed Games Workshop properties, I wonder what the future holds for WHFRP? I've found various copies of Warstone here and
there over time.Undoubtedly I'm sure
that there are some digitized copies on the web if you do some searching.Anyways I found the sample excerpts of this
online and had to get my hands on a hard copy.Turns out that same year I discovered it I was at the Origins Game Fair
in Columbus Ohio and one of the vendors had a new copy.What a great score for me!Has some interesting background in it that
was originally intended for a WHFRP module that never saw the light of day
under the previous license holders of the 1st edition rules.If you’re a Fimir fan get a copy it is well
worth it.

There is also some background
in White Dwarf #102. All good sources.I won't go into all the
history and issues with the Fimir over the years, there are plenty of online
sources that do a much better job than I can retelling their history.

About Me

I'm a late 40's gamer that grew up in the golden age of miniatures and RPGs in the 80's. I cut my teeth on the likes of TSR's 2nd edition D&D and AD&D, SJG's pocket editions of OGRE and Car Wars and the glorious 3rd edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Rogue Trader from GWS. Long live the games and hair metal of the 80's!
